US imposes visa bans on Europeans amid deepening row over “censorship”

From Global News.

The European Union is warning it could act after the United States imposed travel bans on five Europeans it accuses of pushing a campaign of censorship against Americans.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized the five people, who include the leaders of organizations that address digital hate and a former EU commissioner, as “radical” activists and “weaponized” non-governmental organizations that have tried to “coerce American (tech) platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose.”

Brussels says the move is unjustified and undermines shared democratic values.
